THEATRE REVIEW: Surprisingly minimalist adaptation of beloved kids book still enchants. zachtheatre
It is odd and a bit disorienting that Zach Theatre's revival of, which is set during Valentine's Day, opens in April and runs through May. It's like staging a Nativity play in August. But idiosyncratic scheduling is the least of the initially off-putting adjustments that turn Eileen Spinelli's beloved children's book – a delightful 11-minute bedtime read – into an hourlong stage production.
Returning from the COVID-curtailed premiere production of this show in 2020 are Paul Sanchez as Mr. Smith, the newspaper stand operator; Amber Quick as Ms. Todd, the grocery store operator; and, on opening night, Stella Frye Ginsberg as Melanie, Ms. Todd's teenage daughter . Nathan Jerkins joins the cast as Mr. Hatch.
Upon entering the Kleberg's in-the-round performance space, it is immediately clear that no attempt has been made to reproduce Paul Yalowitz's whimsical book illustrations or capture his creative vision. The artist made wonderful use of basic Crayola crayon colors in his pictures and portrayed Spinelli's characters as if they were vintage vinyl Colorforms cutouts adhered to flat scenescapes of a park, a grocery store, and Mr. Hatch's humble home.
